i expect those new energy sources to be built right here in the united states. that's going to help jeremy get a job. it's also going to make sure you're not paying as much for gas >> crowley: governor, on the subject of gas prices >> romney: let's look at the president's policies as opposed to the rhetoric. we've had four years of policies being played out. the president is right in terms of the additional oil production but none of it came on federal land. as a matter of fact, oil production is down 14% this year on federal land. gas production is down 9%. why? because the president cut in half the number of licenses and permits for drilling on federal lands and in federal waters. so where did the increase come from? a lot of it came from north dakota. what was his participation there? the administration brought a criminal action against the people drilling up there for o. this massive new resource we have. what was the cost? 20 or 25 birds were killed. they brought out a migratory bird act to go after them on a criminal basis. look i want to make sure we use

states should take and on afghanistan and whether or not -- i couldn't tell in the end of that exchange whether or not the republican ticket believes he should, the troops should leave in 2,014 or not and libya a lot of questions still about whether the obama knew, when they knew it, how they acted and whether they acted in advance to protect the embassy, the consulate in benghazi, that at one point joe biden said we had no ideaof a repeat requests for additional marines or support or security, and that, i don't think has been resolved, we have seen that playing out in congressional hearings this week, i am not sure that is what people vote on but i do know that is what some of the substance was that was unfolding tonight in part because these issues are in martha's -- >> rose: martha, i mean martha raised a question earlier about libya, paul ryan jumped right on that to make the attack he wanted to make. where did that issue play in terms of looking at foreign policy? because the administration adds taken great pride in terms of foreign policy and especially the battle against terroris

what would he have the united states do right now to shape events with china? >> well, there has been some bipartisanship on east asia. so the obama administration after flirting with a dfferent policy in 2009 returned to an emphasis on asia that had been there in the previous administration. there was an emphasis that involved strengthening our alliances with japan and india and presenting to china a clear choice about we will cooperate if they play by the rules of the game, but we will also demand that they play by the rules of the game. that strategy, which obama came to rather late, has been the strategy that we followed in the past. that's the strategy thweill follow in the future. the problem with president obama's pivot to asia is not that he's focusing on asia. he's underresourced the visit to asia. the big difference between a second term for president obama and a romney administration would be that romney's pledge to beef up the u.s. navy, which is the key service of interest to strengthen our position in asia. i think that's an important difference.
